Question

In a freshman high school class of 80 students, 22 students take Consumer Education, 20 students take French, and 4 students take both. Which equation can be used to find the probability, P, that a randomly selected student from this class takes Consumer Education, French, or both?

Answer 1

Answer:

First subtract the number of students who take both subjects from the number of students who take Consumer Education

22-4=18

Then,

subtract the number of students who take both subjects from the number of students who take French

20-4=16

Now,

Add 18,16 and 4 and subtract the sum from the total number of students in the class

=80-(18+16+4)

=80-38

=42
